Incorporating AI in Teaching: Practical Examples for Busy Instructors
I appreciate this post because it provides concrete, manageable examples of assignments that instructors can experiment with right now. I believe the examples can inspire instructors across a variety of disciplines to try something new without too heavy an investment of time and energy.
Since January 2023, I’ve talked with hundreds of instructors at dozens of institutions about how they might incorporate AI into their teaching. Through these conversations, I’ve noticed a few common issues:
Faculty and staff are overwhelmed and burned out. Even those on the cutting edge often feel they’re behind the curve.
It’s hard to know where to begin.
It can be difficult to find practical examples of AI use that are applicable across a variety of disciplines.
To help address these challenges, I’ve been working on a list of AI-infused learning activities that encourage experimentation in (relatively) small, manageable ways.
